Title: T-Molding suppliers in Canada?
Post by: vandak on December 03, 2008, 02:39:16 pm: Hi All,

This is my first official post, but I have been lurking for a few months now. I began building a cabinet a few weeks ago. I ordered my cp parts but I forgot to order T-molding at the same time. With the current exchange rate and the outrageous shipping/duty charges I am hoping to find a T-Molding supplier in Canada. I almost bit the bullet and ordered from T-molding.com, but their site says UPS doesnt deliver to my location and it didnt provide any alternatives.

Can anybody recommend a suppler? I live near Vancouver, BC, but anywhere in Canada will do.

Thanks!

T-molding is cheap...you don't have to be. :)

"Please select another carrier, the current selection does not deliver to your location"

....

ohhh... I just changed from UPS to "Other Carriers" and that fixed it.

Wow! What a great first post. I rock! :embarassed:

Took about a week to arrive.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Feel free to ask as many questions as you need. The people here are some of the friendliest around.

I live close to Toronto, so I'd go and pick it up - a bit of a commute for you folks in BC.
